Yes, I started in 4-H with a half apron Blue and white check with blue trim. I still have it. Must be an antique by now as that was 60 years ago. We could start 4-H in the 3rd grade back then. Mom also sewed and helped and I took Home Ec in High School. Went to teach 4-H for 20 years have have logged 20 years judging 4-H and Open Class at County and State Fairs here in Oregon. Mostly Textiles - Knitting, crocheting, sewing, fibre arts and quilting. The biggest differnce I find in regular sewing and quilting is the seam allowance - had a hard time transitioning to 1/4" from 5/8". Just didn't seem right! - Got over it though.
